This thread was about whether the collecting of Leicas has an impact on the price and availability of used equipment. I believe that it does, as does the fact that I believe that a goodly number of Leicas are purchased and preserved by those to whom they mean more as status symbols than as tools. That's neither good nor bad, but it does mean that there tend to be fewer "users" around. And I certainly hope that people have goals that are different from mine - the world would be an awfully boring place were that not the case. :-)
